I saw a good banner on Ashby this morning, in the trees and crossing high over the road, that read, "Peace is Patriotic," on one side and "War is Idiotic," on the other. It was excellent.

Seven states and growing!!!!

January 27 (Bellingham) - Overpass protesters have now spread to seven states across America with more coming on line weekly. Previously, we reported on actions in Oregon, Florida and Colorado. This week Connecticut, Texas and Indianna sent in reports of overpass actions. In Washington state, over 300 protesters took to the overpasses between the Canadian border and the Lake Washington Ship Canal in Seattle. Support for the protests increased noticably, with more drivers honking, waving, and giving the peace sign. Nationwide, the action continues to build towards President's Day weekend with thousands expected to wave signs and banners on February 15 from 11am to 1pm.
